Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The image shows the Wood household at line 35-39, with son Franklin recorded as born Jan 1895, age 5, born in New Jersey. That agrees with the claimed birth month, year and state. The day and the town/county are not in the record, so it is consistent but does not fully state the claim.
Matches: Household of Geo. Q. Wood (head, b. June 1858 Canada) includes a son "Franklin" (line 39), born Jan 1895, age 5, single; Birth month and year (Jan 1895) match the claimed 2 January 1895; Birthplace of Franklin is written as New Jersey, which fits Ridgefield, Bergen, New Jersey at state level; Census place Philadelphia Ward 24, ED 578, sheet 10 matches the citation detail
Limits: Census gives only month and year of birth, not the day (2 January); Birthplace is given only as New Jersey, not Ridgefield or Bergen County; The census does not give the middle initial G for Franklin; The census does not show his 1918 death, so the record says nothing about that; The identification of this Franklin as Franklin G Wood rests on the household context (father Geo. Q. Wood), which the image does not otherwise confirm
What it supports
- Born · 2 January 1895 · Ridgefield, Bergen, New Jersey — Franklin G Wood
